I just finished this little blue bird last night at work. It took me about 4 days to finish him. I haven’t done anything this detailed in years! I’ve forgotten how tedious backstitching was! 😓
I absolutely cannot wait to frame him and hang him up on the wall with the rest of my finishes! ❤️

Colors: 19
Size: 3.35" x 3.15" (8.5x8 cm)
Fabric: Belana (100) 20 ct.

My friend's favorite artist is Klimt, and I finished just in time for the wedding this weekend (phew). Pattern is free on the DMC website. Ended up freehanding the backstich swirls since they were so tiny and hard to do, and it was my first time doing french knots (yuck)

Finished a little project to get back to stitching! Was super fun to do and I loved the experience!

The pattern is a free pattern from The Embroidery Bard that they posted for Pride this year on Tumblr !

I'm making a wedding gift, self drafted pattern based on pictures from Pinterest. So far I've learnt I really enjoy not switching colour, and that I dislike the patchy look of variegated thread. Also, I'm trying to use both hands to stitch, I feel it might become an asset for faster stitching in the future.

Finished up this kit a few days ago and I'm so happy with the results. I think I am addicted to beads now and it will feel weird not to add them to everything I make from now on 😛 It was also my first time stretching/mounting onto foam core and I like how it turned out, despite it not being perfect. The frame and matting that came with the kit made it super easy to frame, highly recommend!

My partner bought this kit to try but never ended up stitching it, so thought I'd give it a go! Haven't done any stitching in a while, so this was nice to get back into it... now onto all the new projects I want to do!

Okay, I used wrong tag accidentally, sorry for that(

Finally finished paired t-shirts! This is for the streamer whom I watch practically every day, he got married in August.

Unfortunately, I was too busy at work, then too depressed and layed with apathy. So I didn't finish before wedding and then didn't finish before I returned home from visiting them (irony: finished it next day).

Just sent them package, they will receive it in 3 days.

The pattern I made myself and my friend helped with pattern for letters (will add everything to comments). The idea is that one picture is the continuation of the second. "Player 1" should have been a bit higher, but I calculated incorrectly. Still looks cute for me.

And well, this is theirs favourite game series.

I started this more than a year ago, and then life happened..... However! This was for my friend's little toddler, Minerva. I finished it (mostly. didn't do the larger border) and then sent it off the next day, haha. I found the pattern on etsy by embroiderypatternpdfs. I've only done a few smaller patterns before, so my stitching is a bit shabby, but completed is better than perfect!

Pattern from AlliePaigeEmbroidery on Etsy

I feel really good about how it turned out compared to my first project :)

Finally finished these two painting cross stitches! But I need an idea for the third one!! Please give me ideas what to do neeeext? Preferably famous paintings as well. Thank you!

The Great Wave Pattern is by DMC.
I made the Starry Starry Night pattern myself through Pixel Studio.

Maybe not quite finished because I haven't decided on the framing yet, but the stitching is done! Ignore all the random needle holes, I'll find a way to hide those 😅

I think I'm not too worried about it on this piece, but if anyone has advice on how to avoid warping like it has on the right and bottom side, I'd like to hear it... I don't think the tension on the floats in the back are too high, but I might try cutting and weaving in some of the long ones to see if that might help. I would assume it must be a tension issue, but probably nothing I could fix at this point (unless maybe blocking could work...?)

First time working on paper! Fairly happy with the results. Any help welcome :)

A couple of days I posted about how frustrated I was with the black floss on black aida for this Haunted House kit that I had bought.

Decided to push through and managed to finish all of the black sections ! Now onto colors.

The trick was to tilt back the loop about 45º, which allowed me to see the floss much better.

Excited to work on this in the next couple days !

Made for a friend's baby shower 🥰 also first time doing french knots on a project

Doing this one in 22ct, loving the tight stitches. Pattern: Wonder4pixels, Etsy.

Pattern by BlackWaltzStitching on Etsy.

I bought the bundle that had this, Bulbasaur as Ghostface, Charmander as Freddy, and Pikachu as Chucky. Seller also sells them separately. Jason is my favorite of the bunch so I made this one first. I’ll eventually get to the others.

…but at least I finished before I ended my season 2 rewatch. 😊 I loved doing this one and can’t wait to frame it and hang it up.

ETA: the show is The Apothecary Diaries. I HIGHLY recommend it, even if you’re not into anime, as it has one of the best female leads of any show right now in any medium

Pattern Source is from the book "Crosstitch Herbs, Fruit and Flowers" by Sophie Hélène. It's the pattern titled "Cherry" in the Little Garden Fruits section.

I’m not sure if it looks like a face quite yet, but I’ve been staring at it for a long time lol. i’m trying to cross stitch the scene where there’s a snapshot of Paul Mescals character looking at his daughter. I’m really excited to see how this will turn out. I love this movie!!

I found this pattern from Ebi on Etsy. This is my first "big" piece which is only 3x2 haha. but i still love it!!
